Upcoming Josh Lambert Event in New York City

If you’re free during the day on October 26, you may want to check out this event: Josh Lambert, author of American Jewish Fiction, reports that he will “be delivering an academic paper, based on my dissertation research, at the Center for Jewish History, where I was a Dr. Sophie Bookhalter Fellow last year while finishing my PhD. Prof. Amy Hungerford of Yale will respond. My paper is titled “Unclean Lips: ‘Dirty Words,’ Modernism, and Henry Roth’s Call it Sleep.” Note that this is not a promotional event for my book, but I’ll bring a couple of copies of the book along, in case anyone wants to buy one. Also note that if this event were a movie, it would be rated R.” Click here for RSVP information.

Quiet Americans - Stories by Erika Dreifus

A high-ranking Nazi’s wife and a Jewish doctor in prewar Berlin. A Jewish immigrant soldier and the German POWs he is assigned to supervise. A refugee returning to Europe for the first time just as terrorists massacre Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. A son of survivors and the family secrets modern technology may reveal. These are some of the characters and conflicts that emerge in Quiet Americans, in stories that reframe familiar questions about what is right and wrong, remembered and repressed, resolved and unending. Portions of the proceeds from sales of Quiet Americans are being donated to The Blue Card. Quiet Americans has been named a 2012 Sophie Brody Medal Honor Title (American Library Association) and recognized as a “Notable Book” (The Jewish Journal) and “Top Book” (Shelf Unbound).
